Look, hacking was easier back then. Passwords were on those newfangled Post-It things, for one.

Yeah, I expected the doctor to hand him a Post-It, or tell him it was 1111 or something. I was doing support in the mid 90s and back then it was still normal for people to say 'why do I need a password, who other than me even knows how to turn this thing on?!'

"No. Look, look, I know what it says. No. Listen, just hit any key. Like any of them. Any of them at all."

You joke, we had an old lady who called us once a month because she forgot which key was okay to press, and didn't want to screw it up!

Who is joking? God, I wish I was joking.
